I think you must mean awesome parking lot that allows for greater access to the park. 👍 Plus, you have to have somewhere to park food trucks...🍦🌮

They're opening a speak-easy? -
I'm sure they chose the location for a reason. It's not like the Heights is a cheap eats destination. Plus, if they want to sell down the road they'll get a pretty penny for that combined lot, most of which will be cleared, buildable space.

There is still a Kim Son just east of downtown in the old chinatown area. I recall a largish chinese restaurant on or near Fanin that served dim sum. That place closed around the time the built the red line. Can't remember the name of the place, though. At this point there really isn't much left of the old Chinatown. I remember that mall. Went to the grocery store there a few times when we first moved to Houston in '99.

You might be deficient in self-storage, too. -
Maybe instead of a debate we can have an Hidalgo vs Mealer paintball match? Since you mentioned Fallujah, interestingly enough a quick search for homicide rates in Iraq shows an average of 10 per 100,000 for 2013 (latest year I could find), down from 16 per 100,000 in 2008. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5?locations=IQ Per the chron article below we had 20 per 100,000 in 2021. https://www.centerforjusticeresearch.org/in-the-news/harris-county-homicides-increase-in-2021-amid-similar-trends-nationwide Safe in Iraq...

This is how big companies sideline someone who's annoying but too high up to fire outright. Corporate equivalent of Siberia. 😜

Agree, but desirability per se isn't easily measured. Population growth in a geographic area is.

Agreed. Another piece of information that adds context is how the much population of the metro area outside of the loop has changed in the same time span.

List of radio stations in Houston (Well, at my house)
august948 replied to editor's topic in Houston Radio
I'd bet that you could run a flat-wire antenna across the sliding door threshold and pick up signal that way if you really wanted to.
